Find slope of line through each pair of points (3,9), (-19, -12)

There were 2430 Major League Baseball games played in 2009, and the home team won the game in 53% of the games. If we consider t

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.53 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{2430}}}=2.958$

$p_v =P(Z>2.958)=0.0015$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion is significantly higher than 0.5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=2430 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=0.53$ estimated proportion when the home team won the game

$p_o=0.5$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion is higher than 0.5 or 50%:

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.5$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.5$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

3) Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.53 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{2430}}}=2.958$

4) Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z>2.958)=0.0015$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion is significantly higher than 0.5 .

Whould anyone mind helping please. The first box says 6.25x+12x=30.75 the second box says 6.25x+12=30.75 3rd box says 6.25x+30.7

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The correct equation is: 6x+12 = 30.75

And 3 people went to the movies

Step-by-step explanation:

We will write the equation to represent this scenario.

Let x be the number of people who went for movies.

Then the price of ticket for x people will be: 6.25x

They spent $12 on refreshments and a total of $30.75 so the equation will be:

$6.25x+12=30.75$

solving the equation will give us total number of people

So,

$6.25x+12 = 30.75\\6.25x = 30.75-12\\6.25x = 18.75\\\frac{6.25x}{6.25} =\frac{18.75}{6.25}\\x = 3$

Hence,

The correct equation is: 6x+12 = 30.75

And 3 people went to the movies

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the

kenny6666 [7]

Given:

The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation

$y=-29x^2+1388x-10040$

To find:

The maximum amount of profit the company can make, to the nearest dollar.

Solution:

If a quadratic equation is $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ , then the vertex is

$Vertex=\left(-\dfrac{b}{2a},f(-\dfrac{b}{2a})\right)$

If a>0, then vertex is the minimum point and if a<0, then the vertex is the maximum point.

We have,

$y=-29x^2+1388x-10040$

Here, $a=-29,b=1388, c=-10040$ . Clearly, a<0. So, the vertex is the point of maxima.

$-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{1388}{2(-29)}$

$-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{1388}{-58}$

$-\dfrac{b}{2a}\approx 23.931$

Putting x=23.931 in the given equation, we get

$y=-29(23.931)^2+1388(23.931)-10040$

$y=-16608.09+33216.228-10040$

$y=6568.138$

The vertex is at (23.931,6568.138).

Therefore, the maximum profit is $6568.138 when x=23.931.

A school is planning a field trip to a theme park. A ticket to the park costs $21. For a group of 50 or more, there is a 12%

klasskru [66]

With a 12% discount, 18.48 is the price per ticket (2.52 per ticket saved). In order to determine the amount of tickets, we divide the saved amount by the amount saved per ticket.

819/2.52 is 325.

There were 325 tickets purchsed.
